Words kept popping up in Kieran's vision.
[Triggered special event 'Independence as King'!]
[Join? Yes/No?]
[Based on the actual triggered situation, you will automatically join Anne Aldrich Augen's side!]
…
When Kieran gave an affirmative answer, the information was instantly enriched.
[Independence as King: No one is willing to be a puppet, even if she was purposely trained to be a puppet, the desire for freedom is enough to break the shackles of the past. Anne Aldrich Augen is exactly that! But now she is alone and without help, not only does she have to face the sanctions from the Union, she also has to face the devouring of the Elder Council and Holy Relic Society. She is currently in grave danger …]
[You who chose to help Anne Aldrich Augen, you need to make sure she survives until the Edland City Celebration Parade.]
[Note: Based on your performance during the event, your time will be reduced accordingly.]
…
"Edland City Celebration Parade!
One more week? "
Kieran squinted his eyes.
Although he wasn't a native of this dungeon world, he knew about the celebration parade.
The decorations of the shops in the city was enough for Kieran's sharp senses to notice the arrival of the celebration parade.
Kieran's gaze landed on the 'one week' timer, his heart went into deep thought before he asked, "What are your arrangements?"
A week's time as compensation was enough for those who wanted Anne Aldrich Augen dead to strike countless times.
Anne Aldrich Augen wasn't a person who would sit and wait for her death. Based on his understanding of the lady, even if she was facing a desperate situation, she would definitely have some arrangements in place.
Even if she couldn't seek life in the midst of death, she would make those who wanted to kill her suffer.
"Thank you for the help you provided!
Not just just now, but also … before that! "
Anne Aldrich Augen said sincerely.
Her vague words didn't confuse Kieran at all.
Quite the opposite, Kieran immediately thought of something.
"A smart, powerful man always makes people lose control of themselves!"
Anne Aldrich Augen saw the expression on Kieran's face and couldn't help but chuckle. Once again, the lady returned to her old habits and leaned towards Kieran.
This time …
Kieran chose to dodge again.
Then, he looked at her with a serious gaze.
"Tell me your plan! The most detailed kind! "
Kieran's words were irrefutable.
He knew what Anne Aldrich Augen wanted to do.
What's happening in Edland City right now?
In the eyes of the commoners, it was the explosion at Winchester House and the new mayoral election.
However, in the eyes of the Edland City mystical realm, there was only one thing: the power that Harodet displayed and the mythical and legendary items that were drawn out from the power.
Although most of the people were skeptical, the greed in their hearts had attracted countless people to Edland City.
And all of these things were related to him!
Why would Anne Aldrich Augen thank him for something that was completely unrelated?
It was because the lady wanted to muddy the waters completely, she wanted to drag the Union down with her. It would be best if the Elder Council and the Holy Relic Society had a war with the Union.
It would surely affect Kieran who planned to strike a balance between the Elder Council and the Holy Relic Society.
But wasn't it an opportunity as well?
Anne Aldrich Augen wanted to muddy the waters.
To him, it would only bring him benefits and no harm.
The muddier the waters, the easier it would be for him to fish!
As for questioning and grumbling about why Anne Aldrich Augen didn't inform him beforehand?
Kieran wasn't that childish.
Although they were in a cooperative relationship before this, it was more of a precaution against each other after taking what they needed, unlike now where they were on the same side.
Of course, in order to be more believable, some tricks were necessary.
"Before you tell me your detailed plan, you can sign a contract with me. It will be a good thing for both of us."
Kieran added.
"A very practical way of doing things.
It is you that makes me unable to pull myself out of it! "
Anne Aldrich Augen said, not knowing if it was real or fake.
"Em.
I think the first condition of the contract is that you need to face me with a 'normal' attitude. "
Kieran nodded and emphasized the word 'normal'.
"Am I not normal?"
Anne Aldrich Augen approached Kieran with a smile.
She was very careful and cautious.
When she was less than two steps away from Kieran, Anne Aldrich Augen pretended to throw herself at Kieran but instead, she tore off her evening dress.
Kieran was stunned since he wouldn't be fooled by Anne Aldrich Augen's fake actions.
Obviously, Kieran didn't expect such a scene.
Anne Aldrich Augen dashed towards Kieran with a laugh of her scheme succeeding.
Though, the lady still underestimated Kieran's reaction.
Just when Anne Aldrich Augen was about to touch Kieran, Kieran's footsteps took a wrong step, not only did he dodge Anne Aldrich Augen's embrace again, he even caught her off guard and almost caused her to fall on the floor.
"Aaaargh!"
Anne Aldrich Augen instinctively covered her face when she saw the carpet was getting closer to her and cried out hurriedly.
But, the pain didn't come.
After a moment of dizziness, she realized she was sitting on the chair.
Anne Aldrich Augen opened her eyes, put down her arms and looked at Kieran who was standing in front of the chair. The panic on her face was nowhere to be seen.
She slightly adjusted her posture and posed in an alluring position before she asked with a smile, "You like me … on the chair like this?"
"I'm a little unfamiliar, why don't you take the lead?"
Anne Aldrich Augen then placed her hands on the back of the chair and half-kneeled on it, leaning forward to kiss Kieran.
Unfortunately, Kieran turned around and left.
"I suggest you learn how to cook!"
Kieran's footsteps didn't stop. The words entered Anne Aldrich Augen's ears.
It made the lady frown with slight annoyance.
But soon enough, the lady let out a chuckle.
The meaning of the laugh was unclear but it was pleasant enough to listen to.
Anne Aldrich Augen asked loudly when she saw Kieran's back getting further away, "Should cooking be added to the contract too?"
"Up to you."
Kieran replied.
…
In the next few days, Kieran followed Anne Aldrich Augen like a shadow, attending all sorts of events in Edland City, solving crisis after crisis either openly or secretly.
It allowed the people to quickly get to know the mayor's personal bodyguard.
At the same time, it also made the people sympathize and acknowledge Anne Aldrich Augen as the new mayor.
Never doubt a woman's acting skills.
Especially a beautiful woman!
She was really a natural-born actress.
Kieran quietly watched Anne Aldrich Augen complete the direction of public opinion bit by bit, cutting through the Gordian knot and taking control of the entire Edland City in her hands. Kieran Augen was looking forward to the big show that was about to start.
At night, Edland City once again entered into a special clamor.
The street block near the library had quietened down a long time ago.
Suddenly …
An unusual colorful light burst up to the sky.
